The problem is these people are thinking in terms of absolute security.

Ideally you have a user name, a password, some sort of 2FA and also biometrics.

But the alternative for iPhones was leaving them without even a PIN because entering a 4 digit numeric pin was too much hassle for most people... so Apple lowered the bar and increased security with biometrics.

They are trying to do it again.

If you want ultimate security ,then you can have a very long alphanumeric password, and turn off touchID and faceID

Honestly, a biometric used solely on a device in your possession is not that bad. It is not being transmitted or stored remotely, which would be worse. But it would have been better if it were not a biometric that was being left everywhere.
